Streaming Tech has way more contractors than employees. For now

I had no idea P+ relied on so many contractors. Long before the layoffs were announced, I had the sense that the streaming was too big, and there's way too much over-communication. It gets in the way of getting work done.

@ond+1uey09rs Can confirm. I work in streaming and roughly half of my team are contractors. Just the contractors alone are all getting cut, and we don’t even know the fate of FTE’s in my team yet. It’s crazy out here and 9/24 isn’t even here

If anyone can share current head count under Tom Ryan/Vibol, and what head count will remain after the bloodbath, that would be great.

@woc+1uey09rs Any idea to what degree developers/software engineers will be impacted? Even if not affected, sick and tired of instability of this company and current threat of being let go. Doesn't make for a pleasant environment to work in. It robs energy which could be put to use towards creativity.
